Doors Open Milwaukee call for volunteers

Doors Open is quickly approaching and we need hundreds of volunteers for this year’s event. Volunteers play an incredible role in the event. As a volunteer, you would:

Greet visitors at a building site entrance and briefly tell them what to expect at that particular site

Track visitor attendance

Distribute event program guides

Stamp children’s building passports

Ask visitors to sign-up for Historic Milwaukee Inc.’s mailing list

Solicit donations to maintain DOORS OPEN as a FREE event

Work with buildings owners and managers to ensure that visitors follow any necessary building requirements

Schedule: Shifts are four hours and run from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM or 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Work one shift or as many shifts as you like.

Orientation: ALL volunteers are expected to attend one of the four volunteer orientation sessions. Even if you have volunteered in previous years, we ask you to attend since policies and procedures change. We want you to be fully prepared and comfortable in your role to help make this a successful event for all patrons.
